Arthur Woods is gone?! Thats a pity. I have a very pretty white tea
pot with blackberry decorations & gold trim from them that I bought in
Bermuda a bazillion years ago. Its my 'we have company' tea pot which
seldom sees use because we seldom have tea drinking company. Maybe it
will be worth something someday!
